CHAPTER 2117: CHAPTER 2115: YOU CAN’T FOOL ME

Bai Ruozhu secretly stuck out her tongue; she’d never dare to knock and then rush into a room again without giving people a moment to prepare.

Bai Zepei looked up, "Why are you in such a hurry, little sister?"

His expression was calm, but Si Yihuan had already blushed and pulled away from his hand, moving aside.

Bai Ruozhu coughed twice to hide her embarrassment, turned, and closed the door. Only then did she whisper, "There’s something urgent. I think there’s something wrong with Lanlan."

Si Yihuan’s pretty face turned from red to white, "You’re saying it’s not Lanlan now but that Wu Wanqing?"

"It’s very likely her. She once pretended to be Ruolan, so it’s possible she’s pretending to be Lanlan now," Bai Ruozhu said, frowning. "Lanlan is innocent and cheerful, speaking with childlike innocence, genuinely lively. But this time when she woke up, although her words sounded playful as always, there was a hint of pretense."

She continued, "And previously, she constantly mentioned Chenfeng. I just asked her why not look for Chenfeng, she pretended to be shy, but a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, which the real Lanlan would never have. I suspect Wu Wanqing hasn’t regained her strength, so she’s pretending to be Lanlan, waiting to control the Phoenix Poisonous Insect and find an opportunity for revenge."

"I haven’t spent much time with her, but if you feel something is off, it surely isn’t wrong; you’re always more perceptive than most," Bai Zepei said with a heavy expression.

"What should we do now? Should we quietly remind auntie?" Si Yihuan asked.

Bai Ruozhu quickly shook her head, "Let’s not tell her for now. She’s been repeatedly shocked, and her emotions are very unstable. Plus, she interacts with Lanlan a lot, making it hard not to give anything away, which might ’startle the snake.’ I plan to take her by surprise. I’ll seal her major acupoints on the head with a Golden Needle, and second brother can try a Divine Sense Attack against her. If her Divine Sense gets hurt, it might allow Lanlan to regain control of her body."

"Alright, let’s do that, but we must act quickly to avoid any tricks from her that might harm Lanlan," Bai Zepei said.

"I just spoke to her; she might be on guard. For today, let’s pretend we don’t know anything and act tomorrow," Bai Ruozhu said, glancing at Si Yihuan. "But I’m afraid auntie might interfere, so Yihuan, could you find a reason to lead auntie away?"

Bai Zepei tapped Bai Ruozhu on the head, "Don’t call her Yihuan, call her second sister-in-law."

Bai Ruozhu clutched her head and glared at her with playful annoyance. Good grief, second brother forgot his little sister after getting married; she just forgot momentarily.

"Alright, both Ruozhu and I are used to calling each other by names. Let her call however she likes, calling names feels intimate," Si Yihuan said with a smile.

Bai Ruozhu winked at Si Yihuan, indeed, second sister-in-law is reliable. Once she settles second sister-in-law, second brother will be a piece of cake; let her deal with second brother.

She confidently linked arms with Si Yihuan and said, "Yihuan, you have to help me manage second brother. He hit my head so hard; it’s going to swell."

Bai Zepei’s mouth twitched. Who would believe an inner strength expert would get a bump from a light tap?

Unfortunately, his little wife believed it, glaring at him with anger, "You never measure your force; from now on, you’re not allowed to hit Ruozhu."

Bai Ruozhu laughed so hard her mouth couldn’t close, waving at them as she ran out.

Seeing second brother and Si Yihuan so deeply in love, Bai Ruozhu was happy for them.

Quickly came the next day’s breakfast; the family sat around the table. After they finished eating, Bai Ruozhu winked at Si Yihuan, who quickly understood and took Jiao Ling’s arm, saying, "Auntie, a few days ago, Luo Xiang from the clan sent me some medicinal materials for regenerating Divine Sense. I’m feeling much better now and want to visit and thank her; why don’t you accompany me if you’re not busy?"

"You could have Zepei go with you; you should spend more time together as a young couple," Jiao Ling, feeling better since her daughter woke up, liked to tease the younger generation.

"He’s cultivating his Divine Sense, said he hasn’t figured out the Array in the Enlightenment Tablet," Si Yihuan hurriedly said.

Bai Zepei stood up, "Then I’ll trouble auntie; I don’t want to get too close with the women in the clan."

Jiao Ling immediately understood, smiled, and agreed.

Once Si Yihuan and Jiao Ling were out the door, Bai Ruozhu and Bai Zepei exchanged glances, both letting out a big sigh of relief.

Lanlan typically doesn’t come downstairs to eat with everyone, so she maintained this habit; she should be taking a medicinal bath in her room to resist the growth of Poisonous Insect.

The two cautiously went upstairs and soon arrived outside Lanlan’s room door. Bai Ruozhu made a gesture, then she rushed in with her second brother.

She quickly took a silver needle and stabbed towards Lanlan’s head; by the time Lanlan realized, she couldn’t move or speak easily.

"Ruozhu... sister... what are... you doing..." Lanlan, no, should be Wu Wanqing, still pretending with an innocent look, attempting to continue fooling Bai Ruozhu.

"Save your energy; you can’t fool me," Bai Ruozhu said with a sneer.

Bai Zepei was already using a Divine Sense Attack on her, followed by Wu Wanqing’s painful screams, "You kill... me, she... won’t survive either."

"Killing you would be too easy?" Bai Ruozhu noticed the silver needle slowly rising again, Wu Wanqing seemed to have awakened the Phoenix Poisonous Insect within her.

Bai Ruozhu dared not be careless, quickly took another silver needle, and stabbed at her body’s major acupoints, soon temporarily suppressing the force within her.

Wu Wanqing glared at Bai Ruozhu and asked, "When did you find out? Was yesterday’s conversation meant to trap me? Or did I say something wrong yesterday?"

Bai Ruozhu coldly looked at her and said, "You’ve done many things wrong; no matter how you pretend, you’re not Lanlan; you’re far from her!"

"Is it because I’m not close to Chenfeng, revealing the flaw? Such a disgusting snake-man, only Lanlan would like him. Seeing him makes me want to puke!" Wu Wanqing seemed to have gained some energy, speaking more fluently now; Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but worry.

Bai Zepei let out a sharp whistle; a white light shot from his brow towards Wu Wanqing, causing her to scream in agony. Outside, Jiao Yunyun was alerted and rushed in, asking, "What’s wrong? What happened?"

Bai Ruozhu quickly said, "Grandma, please don’t intervene; we’re helping Lanlan."

Bai Zepei’s forehead was covered in fine sweat; he wiped it, breathed out, and said, "I didn’t dare use too strong a Divine Sense Attack, afraid it might harm Lanlan. I hope this will help her."

At this moment, Wu Wanqing had already fainted; Bai Ruozhu looked at her and said, "It should be enough, now it’s up to her own efforts."

"What exactly happened?" Jiao Yunyun asked eagerly.

"When Lanlan woke up, she was actually no longer herself; Wu Wanqing had taken over her body," Bai Ruozhu explained.
